Regulate the Taxes.

The following resolutions were adopted
by the Tiskilwa Farmers Alliance at its
regular meeting OF /.
Whereas, Certain leading public men
and several political conventions propose
to reduce the present excessive national
taxes by removing wholly or in part the
taxes on spirits and tobacco in preference
to reducing the tariff on such necessaries
of life as are required by the whole PEG.
Dle; therefore.
ResolCed, That we, members of the
Tiskilwa Farmers Alliance, convened In
regular meeting, earnestly protest against
the removal of the tax or any part of the
same on spirits and tobacco; ana we not
readily believe that congress will seriously
consider, much less enact into law such an
absurdity as providing for cheap whisky
and tobacco In preference TO cheap sugar,
lumber, salt, and clothing
Whereas. The state board of equaliza-
ton has for many years In assessing rail
road corporations disregarded the law re-
quiring capital stock assessment, and by
such omission has released the most pros.
porous roads from half or more of Just
taxation; and,
Whereas, The board Is now In session
and this question is before it; therefore,
Resolred, That We, mem bers of the lis
kilwa Farmers Alliance, respectfully urge
upon the board of equalization that JUS
tice and the public interest demand that
these corporations shall bear their equal
share of the tax burdens in proportion to
the value of their property, and since the
law for capital stock assessment and the
former rule Of the board tor Its execution
have been indicated In the courts we see
see no obstacle TO such action, and trust
that the present board will signalize itself
by return to compliance with the law
which for ten years has been diRegarded,
involving great loss Of public revenue.

At Rest.

The funeral services Of Ross c. Mitchell
were held at the Congregational church last
Sunday afternoon at half past two, the Rev.
W. F. Day officiating, The church WAS
densely packed with the friends and acquain
tances of the deceased. There was scarcely
standing room. The funeral was in charge
Of the Occidental Lodge of Freemasons. The
Arion Quartette, consisting Of Prof Y. s..
Harrison, Mr., Hardy, Alderman Pritchard,
and Frank Kendall furnished the music.
After two hymns and the reading Of the
Scriptures, Mr.. Day preached brief ser.
mon from the text Lord, If Thou hadst
been here my brother had not died" There
was then another hymn, most beautiful
rendered, and the benediction. The music
rendered by the quartette on this occasion
was some Of the finest ever heard in Ottawa.
The last selection, "Ons by One" was par
ticularly beautiful.
AT THE GRAVE.
Proceeding to the cemetery, the services
at the grave were conducted by the Masons.
There was reading Of the ritual, and a pray or
by the Chaplain of the Order, Rev. D. j.
Holmes. The Masons then marched around
the grave, throwing in fragments of ever
green, at the same time chanting their ser.
vice In conclusion prayer was offered by
Rev. W. +, Day.
Thus was the service which hid from the
gaze of all his friends the last earthly yes.
